LIC Agents Protest Against New Insurance Rules:
LIC is the largest public sector life insurance company and institutional investor in India.
- Headquartered in Mumbai, it plays a crucial role in India’s financial market.
- Motto: “Yogakshemam Vahamyaham” (From the Bhagavad Gita) – “Your welfare is our responsibility.”
- It was established in 1956 through the Life Insurance of India Act, which nationalized the insurance sector by merging 245 private insurers and provident societies into a single entity.
- LIC operates through 8 zonal offices in Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kanpur, Kolkata, Bhopal, and Patna.
